Make-A-Wish Israel is part of an international organization which fulfills wishes for children between the ages of 3-18 who are fighting critical illnesses
Denise and Avi Bar-Aharon established the Israeli branch of Make-A-Wish in 1996, in memory of David Spero, Denise's brother. Since establishment, we fulfilled over 6,000 transformational wishes for critically ill children.
In fulfilling the child’s one true wish, Make-A-Wish strives to provide a powerful and life-changing experience, an experience that gives hope, strength and joy during the most difficult times. In many places around the world, doctors treat the wish fulfillment, as an integral part of the child’s health care.
The wishes fall into 4 categories; to be, to go, to have and to meet. Examples are - to go on a family vacation in ; to have - a new laptop, electric guitar, or room makeover; to meet - their favorite singer, their favorite movie star or favorite sports star; to be - a firefighter, a veterinarian, a CEO of a company or even a king or queen for a day
